"Coaching in the NFL has been Renaldo's aspiration and we are thrilled he's getting this opportunity with the Dolphins," Narduzzi wrote on Twitter today. "... Renaldo will always be a Panther and always be part of our program."

As the Lions wait to hire their head coach, they have lost another assistant. Defensive line coach Kris Kocurek is headed to Miami for a similar role with the Dolphins, his wife posted on Facebook this morning. Kocurek had been with Detroit since 2009 and coached through the Jim Schwartz and Jim Caldwell eras. He also was Ndamukong Suh's position coach during his time with the Lions -- a pairing that will reunite in Miami. Kocurek is widely respected around the league and was particularly good in Detroit of getting players to reach unexpected potential (Kerry Hyder, George Johnson and Devin Taylor).
